Re: Character code for string in other language

I am getting wrong output when I have string in Arabic Language.

I want to convert a string (in any langauge) to bytes format as geiven in Annex A of
ETSI EN 300 468 V1.9.1 (2008-11)
Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) :
Specification for Service Information (SI) in DVB systems

For that someone has suggested to use System.Text.Encoding. But to use that, I must know the codepage before compilation.

So is there any method to retrieve codepage?

You can get code page information using APIs like GetACP, GetCPInfo etc.

Hi,

Thanks for suggestion.

But if I am having two strings s1 & s2, each having value in 2 distinct languages, how can I use above functions to convert them (there characters) into byte format?

Thanks & Regards,

Problem in MessageBox display

I have displayed a messagebox with MB_RTLREADING flag.
The string that i tried to display is some thing like: "Name(First Name)"
However I am getting the display of "(Name ( First Name"

The syntex used for the messagebox was as follows:
MessageBox(NULL,"Name (FULL NAME)","good",MB_RTLREADING );

Please suggest what setting i am missing?

I tried using the same.
It produces the correct output.
But I think it is not good to Change the Strings. As in case of multiple closing brackets it will very cumbersome to edit the strings.
It should be any property/flag of the MessageBox that i am missing.

Given this program:

#include <Windows.h>

#pragma comment(lib, "user32")

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
   MessageBox(NULL,"Name (FULL NAME)","good",MB_RTLREADING );
}

I got exactly what you might expect - a message box with text reading left to right exactly as shown above (that's because I'm using the Latin Unicode subrange, not one of the right-to-left ones) but with all the adornments (icon, window caption buttons) mirrored compared to what I would usually see.

I don't get any strange bracketness like you've reported.

-> Latin Unicode subrange, not one of the right-to-left ones)
I do't feel that i could follow you well.
I am using english XP.
I also tried your code in two environments:
1. My Region and Languages set to Arabic
2. My Region and languages set to English(US)
In both the cases I am getting the same string as i mentioned in my first mail. "(Name(First Name".
I am not getting what's wrong is going on!

Do the parenthesis have some special meaning when used in Hebrew or Arabic systems? Have you tried other strings?

Unicode and Multicode

I have inherited this MFC project that has been set to "Not Set" as far as its character set. I have run into couple of problems recently with incompatibility issues with new common controls because comctl32 is unicode compatible. My question, is should I force my project to be unicode or leave it as "Not Set"... Does any one have a good experience as far as the projections of Microsoft and what do you gain or lose out either way?

Thanks

If you're only using English text and strings, you may as well leave it as "Not Set".

What are the problems that you came across?

Windows internally uses Unicode.
So there would be a slight overhead of converting the ASCII string to their Unicode counterparts.

I know about former VC++ certificates, but is there anything similar for plain C++?

I've taken a handful of their exams. It's ultimately up to the company as to whether or not they recognize the exams/certifications. Mine does not, but I was taking them for my own benefit regardless.

Hi All,

I had ported my application frommVC++ 6.0 to VC++ 9.0.

If i am copying my application exe to other machines, is it enough that the destination machines have .Net Framework 3.5.?

or

Is it manditory the it need VC++ redistributable?

If required what dose VC++ Redist provide which .Net 3.5 framework dosent provide?

Thanks All.

The C and C++ runtime library DLLs from Visual C++ 9 and the MFC DLLs from Visual C++ 9.

If the .Net Framework 3.5 uses the runtime DLLs from VC++9, then it'll need to install them. I wouldn't bet on it using the C/C++ run-time, though, and certainly not MFC.

I would take the simple path, i.e. require the VC++9 redistributables, whether installed to the machine or as a local (to the executable) side-by-side install.

Are you using .Net 3,5 in your application? If you are, then you need the framework. Otherwise you don't.

My application is developed using VS 6.0(VC++). Now i migrated it to VC++ 2008

I just compiled my VC++ 6.0 with VS2008. So i think i did not use any .net libraries.

Its all the native code. So do i need .Net 3.5 frame work on the destinaton machine?

Thanks,

No, all you would need is the MFC libraries.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
